Beautiful hiking trail on the Moselle near Ellenz-Poltersdorf, Rhineland-Palatinate.
A great hike that starts in Ernst and first leads to Ellenz-Poltersdorf. It not only passes through the charming wine villages on the Moselle, but also through vineyards and forests. A head for heights and sure-footedness are an advantage, as the trail climbs steeply in places and leads to exposed areas.
The bus stop "Ernst, Oberdorf" is located near the starting point. The bus stop "Bruttig, Moselufer/Kirchstraße" is close to the finish point, returning to the starting point by public transport is possible.
On the way, the ferry crosses over to the other side of the Moselle for a fee. Before setting off, it is therefore best to research the operating times of the ferry (see "Tips"). There are numerous restaurants and cafés to stop off at.
It is good to bring a sense of adventure and good footwear on this adventure trail. It is quite possible to come across fallen trees and overgrown sections of the trail.
Highlights:
- magnificent Moselle valley
- Metternich Castle
- beautiful wine-growing areas
